The busy day ends as the sun sets.

The ministers and officials dragged their exhausted bodies back home to rest and prepare for tomorrow's work.

Zhang Liang also felt very tired, although he had been paddling recently.

"Liuhou!"

As soon as Zhang Liang got off the carriage, a man rushed out from beside the house and saluted Zhang Liang.

The guards around Zhang Liang quickly increased their vigilance.

At the same time, Zhang Liang was also inquiring about the visitor. He had a strong smell of mutton and some irritation on his body, and his body shape was slightly thicker and slovenly compared to the Han people.

If the sky had been brighter, Zhang Liang would have been able to recognize him at a glance.

But now, Zhang Liang still relied on these to recognize the other party's identity.

"I wonder what happened to the Yuezhi envoy?" Zhang Liang waved his hand, signaling to the guards not to be nervous.

"There are some small things that I would like to ask Marquis Liu for help with!" Yalu, the envoy of the Yuezhi, maintained a humble posture.

It won't work if I don't keep it.

The Han Dynasty was really too powerful.

When he first came to Luoyang, Yalu didn't think the Han Dynasty was very powerful. Although their capital looked big, it was also very dilapidated, not even as good as some of the cities he passed on the way.

But as time and understanding increased, Yalu realized how ridiculous his original idea was.

Luoyang was in ruins only because the Han Dynasty had not yet begun to build their capital.

Yalu also learned that Han planned to expand its capital five times, and would take action in the near future.

Now it is time for the Yuezhi to rely on the Han State, and Yalu is also trying his best to persuade the king of the Yuezhi to get involved in this matter.

Although the projects that Yuezhi people can participate in are very limited, and they don't understand some technical tasks, as for manpower, others may not use their people.

Furthermore, the Yuezhi could not afford so many people as coolies.

So Yalu decided to persuade King Yuezhi to exchange cattle and sheep for food with Han.

The Han Dynasty was short of meat, and the Yueshi were short of food.

Following the principle that other people's food must be the best, and in addition to the fact that he often eats grains and occasionally eats meat recently, Yalu himself has personally experienced the benefits of this kind of diet for the body, so he works even harder with his persuasion.

.

The Yuezhi King already had a vague intention of agreeing.

However, as one incident broke out, his efforts were almost shattered.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Zhang Liang gestured, vaguely guessing the other party's intention.

"It's not easy to say here..." Yalu hesitated. What should he say in front of so many people?

Even if I say so, how do I give gifts myself?

Is it possible that those who have prejudices are involved?

"If it's a private matter, I will definitely help your envoy if I can solve it. If it's a business matter, please ask your envoy to come to the palace tomorrow to discuss it!" Zhang Liang understood and expressed his stance.

"This..." Yalu was confused. Why don't you want the benefits delivered to your door?

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late. It's better for your envoy to return to his residence early. Otherwise, he will be caught by the imperial army when the curfew starts, and his face will be tarnished..." Zhang Liang said in a calm tone.

He said politely, and then entered the mansion directly without looking back.

"Hey, Liuhou...Liuhou..." Yalu was a little anxious, but Zhang Liang refused to look back no matter what.

"What should we do?" The person behind Yalu said anxiously.

"Go and have a look at other homes!" Yalu was also helpless.

Could it be that he didn't express it clearly enough?

It was simply unbelievable to him that even a gift could be rejected.

If you put this on the grassland, the other party will be eager for you to take out all your belongings.

What now?

They all arrived in front of the door, but they couldn't even get through the door.

"But the curfew is coming soon. If we are caught by the Forbidden Army, even if we are a mission, we will be punished..."

"Punishment is punishment. Can you find someone during the day?" Yalu was a little angry.

Secretly, these Han officials are really workaholics.

I go to work early in the morning and wait until the sun sets. Other times, I can’t find anyone except at work.

If it could be found during the day, why would Yalu risk being caught by the Forbidden Army to do errands at night?

"Even the emperor's most trusted person has rejected it, and it's hard to say for others. Even if they accept it, whether they can do things or not is still the same thing." Yalu's companion said.

"The person the emperor trusts most?" Yalu seemed to be reminded by this sentence, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes!"

"Yes?"

"Just come with me!" A smile finally appeared on Yalu's face.

Zhang Liang was chosen previously just because Zhang Liang had a high status, had been with the Emperor of Han for the longest time, and was the most trusted by the Emperor of Han.

If he opens his mouth, the probability of success is naturally higher.

But the person whom the Emperor of Han trusted most was not necessarily Zhang Liang.

So, after walking about five hundred steps to the east, the two came to another mansion.

There were four big characters written on it, although they couldn't understand them.

Xingyang Houfu!

Zhang Buyi, who had just gotten off work, returned to his house. His family had dinner with him, and then he entered the room boredly.

When I was young, I didn’t know what was expensive...

No, Zhang Buyi feels that this sentence does not suit him.

How can a person who is strong and able to control several women in one night have anything to do with these things?

This is obviously due to unqualified time management, which resulted in both of his wives becoming pregnant, and he had to stay alone in the empty house.

Then Zhang Buyi, who had just been bored and depressed, received the notification.

Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I asked someone to bring Yalu in.

"Huh? Do you want the big man to return the Yueshi's horses, cattle and sheep? Is there anyone else?" After listening to Yalu's story, Zhang Buyi frowned.

Of course he knew about this matter. How could he not know about such a big matter as the most intimate person around the emperor?

"Yes, as long as Marquis Xingyang is willing to help mention this matter in front of the emperor, Yuezhi is willing to pay fifty catties of gold." With that, the companion behind Yalu took out a pile of gold cakes from the bag.

It's very rough, but judging from the quality, it is undoubtedly gold.

"Fifty jins? Are you going to send a beggar away?" Zhang Buyi glanced with disdain. Although my old Zhang family does not have fifty jins of gold, who am I? I want to send away only fifty jins? Is this true?

How contemptuous are you?

"This is just a deposit! Yes, a deposit!" Yalu suddenly felt that there was something interesting. He had not stayed in Luoyang these few months in vain. He naturally understood some customs and so on, so he immediately changed his mind and continued: "After the matter is completed,

Yueshi is willing to pay another one hundred and fifty kilograms of gold, and in addition to give Marquis Xingyang ten of the best war horses, and a thousand cattle and sheep each!"

The corners of Zhang Buyi's mouth raised slightly, and then he thought in a pretentious manner: "Well...it's quite difficult..."

"Yes..." Yalu nodded repeatedly.

"As you know, these trophies were snatched from the hands of the Huns by the frontline soldiers, so strictly speaking, he does not belong to your Yuezhi." Zhang Buyi said.

"Yes..." Yalu continued to nod, he was ready to be slaughtered.

After all, there are millions of cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of horses. No matter how high the price is, he has to grit his teeth and accept it.

"Although I have the trust of His Majesty, it is not easy to talk about this kind of thing..."

"Don't... Marquis Xingyang, if you have anything to say, just say it. If it satisfies you, we will definitely promise you, as long as you can help talk about this matter in front of the emperor." Yalu was a little panicked. Han people are not good at this and speak.

It's too convoluted, not as straightforward as the prairie men who make people feel comfortable.

"Let's see, five hundred pounds of gold, war horses, cattle, sheep and so on, I don't want any more!" Zhang Buyi said with a sudden smile.

"Okay!" Yalu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Gold is actually of little use to them. It's just a bit of a curiosity at most.

However, just when Yalu thought the matter was settled, Zhang Buyi spoke again.

"But I need to be strict first. When will I see five hundred kilograms of gold, and when will I tell His Majesty about this matter? In addition, these trophies do not belong to your Yueshi. They are for the frontline soldiers.

What I can guarantee you is that as long as I open my mouth, Your Majesty will give me this face, but how much you can give is beyond my control. After all, you have given too much.

The soldiers will be unhappy..."

"Okay, I'll go raise it right now." Yalu nodded excitedly, and then said: "Well, Marquis Xingyang, it's almost curfew now..."

"It's easy to say..." Zhang Buyi directly called a soldier and asked him to personally take the two of them back to their place of residence.

Other people's soldiers can't do it, but Zhang Buyi's soldiers can definitely do it.

Because he has no personal soldiers at all. The so-called personal soldiers are directly drawn from the palace guards and rotated once a month.

"General, you..." The close confidant who had been following Zhang Buyi hesitated a little. If His Majesty knew about this, Zhang Buyi would be in danger.
